A MUEDER BY UNKNOWN MEN

The Assault Upon George fteBnrger, the Car-Driver, Causes His Death. Mjsterious Circumstances Snrronndinff the Bloodj Crime, the Only Witness of Which Was a Twelve-Year-Old Girl. , George De Burger, the car-driver who was as saulted on his car, on South Delaware street, while coming in on his last trip on Saturday night, died yesterday morning, at 5 o'clock, wi thout having recovered consciousness to tell, if he knew, who his murderers were. The best detectives on the Metropolitan police force worked bard all day yesterday searching for a clew that would lead to the arrest of the per pa trators of the crime, but when they met to ex change notes last evening the mystery surround iog tbe crime was as profound as when they be gan work. It seems evident that the murderers bad no purpose of robbery, for the money-box on the ear and the watch on the body of the murdered man were not disturbed. The particnlars, as they came to light jester day morning, show that the murder is one of the most brat al that has ever occurred in this city. The car was the last to leave the tarn table at Schmidt's brewery, and started for it a trip to the stable without a passenger. From tbe meagre evidence at hand, it seems that near thecorner of Delaware and Merrill streets. three men emerged from an alley and began hurling bowlders at DeBurger. One of th bowlders struck him. and he fell forward nnon the dash-board of his platform. Seeing they had stunned him, the men rushed upon him, ' and one of them struck him several b lows over the head with a heavy piece of iron which he carried. Af ter this had been done they threw him over the dashboard, under the heels of the mules, and fled, to allow the cars to pass over his body. There was bat one witness to the crime, so far as known, and that was Emma Martin, the twelve-year-old daughter of William Martin, living at No. 241 South Delaware street. She bad started on an errand to the grocery store of Peter Zimmer, a half-square away, and was several doors from her own home when she saw the assault as it is here described. Her attention, she says, was first attracted by- the bowlders striking the car, a second later she saw the driver fall forward as if hit, and then the men rushed upon him, one of them carrying a long piece of iron in his hand. Several blows were struck, she says, and then the three assail ants of the driver fled. Allot this occurred in less than two minutes, and was done without the car being stopped. She says there were three of the men, bat she is unable to sire a mluate discriptton of them and says she would not know them if she was brought face to face with them again. Frightened by the scene, she rushed back to her father's house to tell him of it, but before she could tell the story Mrs. Snyder, living at the corner of McCarty street and Madison avenue, came along, on her way home from market. She saw the man lying on tbe track, and, supposing; ha was drunk, hurried into Zimmer's grocery store and told Mr. Zimmer tbe fellow had better be removed, or he would be run over. Mr. Zimmer went out and found the man unable to speak. While be was trying to rouse him, two youug men, 6mooth-faced, eame up and made some light remark about the injured man. like "Get np and go home, you old boozer." After Mr. Zimmer discovered De Burger was in a dying condition, the young men manifested a great deal of interest in the case, and helped carry him to the office of Dr. Smith, near by. The detectives working on tbe case believe the young men were two of the three connected with the crime. The description of them given by Mr. Zimmer tallies almost exactly with that given by Miss Martin of two ot the men who did the bloody work, A slight examination by Doctor Smith revealed tbat the man's right arm was broken and that bis skull was fractured near the base of the brain. Besides he was cut in several places on tbe bead and face. He was sent to bis home, No. 19 Sbarpe street, and there received the attention of Doctors Earp and Sutcliff. They found his injuries of a fatal nature, and could do nothing but ease his pain. The physicians tried to get some information from him about the assault upon him, but only a few broken sentences were uttered by him. Once he said to Doctor Sutcliff: "I know the men. I see them every day. I know their faces, but. I don't know their names." Another time, when half delirious, he said: "I know him now. It was Garr or Carr tbe physicians could not under stand which. The only description of bis assailants tbe dying man could give was that they were emooth-faeed men. Shortly before he died he said the man who struck the blow was an old car-driver, but he could not give his name. He was delirious, though, when he made tnis last statement. Yesterday afternoon the police learned that .i i. j v . .. -m TXT I U me dibu uau uneu putoui ui i iu. uusourucM saloon, near the scene of the murder, and they thought this furnished a clew. After several hours' work the names of the young men were ascertained, and they were found. They showed, though, that they had gone home early, and the officers felt satisfied that they could not have been connected with the murder, and turned their investigation in other directions. There are men under suspicion, and while tbere is now only a very little circumstantial evidence against them, it is believed that there may be more developments to-day. Coroner Wagner held an inquest over tbe body yesterday afternoon, and found that death resulted from a blow on the back of the head from a blunt instru ment. Notwithstanding the statement of Miss Martin, some doubt is expressed about the car having passed over the body. While nearly every bone in the right arm was broken, the sleeve of the overcoat he wore bore no marks of the car wheel, and the theory of the physician is that the arm was broken in warding off the blows of the iron bar in the hands of the mur derer. However tbat may be, Dr. Wagner says the blow on the back of the head was the causa of death. The crime created a great deal of excitement among the laboring men of the South Side, among whom Mr. DeBurger was ,very popular. He was thirty-five years of age, and a married man. with four small children. His family is left destitute. Two months ago Mr. DeBurger be came sick with typhoid fever, and only three Weeks aco recovered sufficiently to return to work. Soon after bis recovery a small son be came ill with the same disease, and is still sick. His youngest child is but eight days old, and there are fears that the excitement and grief of his wife may result fatally. . Hundreds of workingmen called at the little cottage where the re mains lay yesterday afternoon, and there was common talk of not waiting for the law to take its regular course if the guilty parties should be found. Colonel Johnson, of the street-ear company. says he will not spare money in employing the best detectives to ferret out the crime, and in the punishment of the men if they are found. Yesterday afternoon he offered a re ward of $200 for the arrest and con viction of the murderers. He notified the undertaker yesterday afterno'on that he would bear the expense of the funeral of the dead man, and he will also look after tbe comfort of tbe widow and children for a time. The murdered man will be bcried to-morrow morn ing nnder the direction of his fellow car-drivers. - Superintendent Travis says that every effort will be made to ferret out the crime. The assaulting of ear-drivers has become a frequent occurrence, and tbere is a general sentiment that something must be done toward affording protection to the men. Tbe County Commissioners will be asked this morning to offer a reward. The Flics' HenetU Entertainment. The local lodge cf Elks promise an original entertainment next Thursday evening at English's Opera-house. The programme will open with a minstrel first part, and John II. Martin, Jerry Denny, Charlie Foster, Pink nail, Hobby Johnson and Gus Schmidt as end men, and JoBephT. Fanning as interlocutor.

In the olio. Miss Ida Sweente, who made sueh a success in Maganon' last winter, and Mrs. Leon Bailey will sing. The annual address will be delivered by Chas. Foster. Pink Hail, will do aa

The entertainment will close with the farce "Mr. and Mrs. Brown," by Burt Richardson. Pink Hall and Mr. Coulon. Re served seats will be on sale at the box-office of the theater on Tuesday. . EXPENSES UNPROVIDED FOR. A Conference Relative to the Use of State Funds Without an Appropriation. There) are some minor expenses connected with tho State offiees which must depend upon appropriation bills for their payment. The salary of offioers, certain deputies and the mainte nance of tbe several institutions, benevolent. punitory and educational are provided for in a continuance of tbe appropriations for such pur pose to amounts equal to those for the years covered by tbe bills last passed. But unless ap propriations are made from session to session of the General Assembly for jaintora and a certain number of clerks now employed by tbe State omcers, tneir payment must stop or the officers themselves will have to meet the expenses oat of their salaries. The funds for this purpose a ppropriated in 1SS5 are about exhausted, and there is a question as to now to continue tbe clerical force intended. which, it is said, is necessary for the prompt transaction or tbe state s business. If the payment is continued as that -for other expenses is, the Auditor thinks he may be liable for the amount, which in the course of the year will reach $3,000 or $10,000. If that contingency can be provided for it is possible Auditor Uarr will issue the warrants on the treasury for the salaries and expenses in ques tion, but if not tbe clerks affected will have to be dropped, unless the State officers agree to individually pay the amounts. If tbat is done the Attorney-general will have to pay about &00. the Auditor of State a like amount. and tbe Secretary of State not far from that sum. I tie uovernor will be required to par for a clerk and messenger, but tbe salary of his private secretary will continue, as that is cov ered by law. Adjutant-general Koonts, who thinks bis department is next in importance to tbat of the Governor, will be compelled to pay for his own clerk or go without. The Supreme Court judges will have to draw from their pocket books the salaries of messenger and the young man who has charge of the law library. "I do not think," said a gentleman yesterday, "that a change in the Supreme Court's messenger and librarian service would be amiss. The places are held by two young fellows who are reading law at tbe expense of the State. If any one goes into tbe library and asks for information or at tention he has to go down on bis knees to get it." Tbe State Statistician's offiee is also af fected. On Saturday the Governor and Auditor of state bad a consultation about the matter. Jndge Turpie and ex Governor Porter were present by invitation, the object being to get an opinion from those two gentlemen as to how far tbe liability of the Auditor would extend if he should continue to draw warrants for the serv ices specified. No oonclusion was reached, nor will tbere be until the Attorney-general p asses upon tbe question. BLOWN OPEN BY BURGLARS. Three Men Secrete Themselves in Charles Mayer & Co.'s Store and Rob the Safe. The safe in the store of Charles Mayer & Co., Nos. 29 and 31 West Washington street, was blown and robbed by burglars sometime early yesterday morning. The thieves secured $150, all the money the safe contained. The job was one of the best planned and most successful pieces of work of the kind ever done in the city. The three men who did it went to the store when it was crowded with several hundred customers Saturday afternoon, and secreted them selves somewhere among tbe piles of goods until tbe store was closed at 9 o'clock at night. Then they emerged from their hiding places, and after drilling several holes through the dials on the safe, put in the powder and exploded it, without any one hearing tbe report Securing the money in the drawer they took five valises and, going through the stock of goods, filled them with the most valuable articles tbev could find. It was nearly 5 o'clock in the morning when their work was completed, and then, unlatching the Pearlstreet door, tbey departed with their booty. Just after they had closed the door behind them Merchant policeman Walker came on to Pearl street from Illinois. Tbe men saw him and started to run. Mr. Walker gave them pursuit, and ran them to the Panhandle freight yards. Tbere he began to gain on them and they dropped the valises, and soon got safely away from him. i he valises were taken back to tbe store, and were found to contain several hundred dollars' worth of goods, including jewelry, silverware and many of the most costly fancy articles in the store, it Mr. Walker had bad any assistance he conld have captured tbe thieves. When be started in pursuit he did not know positively tbat they were thieves, or he would probably have used his revolver, and perhaps have succeeded in capturing some of them at any rate. The men, it is supposed, secreted themselves in the eellar, as the best opportunity for biding was offered there. That they were locked in the store is certain, for not a single lock on any of the doors had been tampered with. Further more, the Fearl-street door cannot be opened from the outside, but is barred from the inside. The thieves, whoever they were, unquestiona bly knew this fact, or tbey would not have risked being locked in the building. UNPLEASANT AND UNPROFITABLE. Such Is the Experience of Saloon-Keepers in Trying to Sell on Sunday. There was, perhaps, less intoxicating liquor cold in Indianapolis yesterday than on any Sunday for several years. This is the testimony of the members of the police force, who were very active all day in looking for open back doors. A majority of the saloon-keepers locked t'aeir doors, threw up their blinds, and remained at home all day, and the few who have always been foremost in attempting to violate tbe law were bo closely watched that tbey found business both unprofitable and unpleasant. Superintend ent Travis sent patrolman Teiben, a newly-ap pointed officer, out in citizen's clothes, and during the day he appeared in every quarter of the city, but was unsuccessful in finding more than one chance for making arrests. The very few saloons selling ad mitted only persons known personally by tbe proprietor, his bartender or watchers on the outside. In some instances tickets of admission bad been issued, and no one not holding a pass could pass the guards. The only place running where extra precautions were not being observed was at Lawrence Riley's, on South Illinois street. Mr. Teiben succeeded in making tbe spotter outside believe tbat he was a regular customer, and was admitted, to find a crowd drioking at the bar. Mr. Riley was arrested. and the remainder of the day tbe saloon was closed. John Enkleton, the East Washington-street saloon-keeper, who was arrested last Sunday by patrolmen Brady and Hostetter, was taken into custody again yesterday by tbe same officers. He resorted to tbe scrubbing dodge, and early in tbe morning the officers saw people going in and out of tbe place while tbe scrubbing was in progress. He was notified to close, and wheu he refused was placed under arrest. His colored scrubber, Harry Anderson, said his employer should not be taken from his place of business, and be, too, was taken along. Mr. Enkleton was charged with desecrating the Sabbath and the colored man with interfering with an officer. Peiches In Southern Indiana. Madison Courier.

THE ALL-ABSORBING TOPIC

Conflicting Views as to How the Natural-Gas Question Should Be Settled. The Indianapolis Company Expected to With draw Its Demand for an Exclusive Franchise at To-I)ay's Meeting of the Council. When the councilmen meet this afternoon as committee of the whole to consider the Indianapolis company's natural-gas ordinance, none of them can seek to delay action for want ef information. There is not one among them who has not, since Friday evening, been plied with questions as to what he intends to do. As a citizen expressed it, last night, every man of the 1,200 er more, who subscribed to the Doxey pledge, considers himself aggrieved and thoroughly Qualified to give an opinion. "You may be sure," be continued, "these people are not missing their opportunity." When three or fonr persons, the first few days, would try to give their views at the same time, there was no telling into what ramifications of ideas and contradictions the question would lead them. Generally in groups of this kind two or three might be pitted against an equal number, but there was no certainty of tbe discussion ending in that shape. It was more UKeiy to De a three or tour sided debate in which the man who coulfi talk tbe fastest and had his theories well in hand would get the best of tbe argument. The discussion was just as likely to last half tbe afternoon or night in that form, interspersed now and then with overheated expressions. The man who assumed to know all about natural gas from the Original generative factors to the time it would be consumed at so much per thousand feet, had a temper of incomparable evenness if he came out of an argument without a desire to destroy those who opposed him. Upon one thing, however, everybody agreed, and that is Indianapolis ought to have natural gas. From that tbe divergence of opinion occurred, leading one into a countless maze of conclusions crossing premises and premises getting mixed up in conclusions, until the orator and his hearers were ready to curse each other in their confusion. Many things in all this seemingly endless talk about natural gas. were said that conld have been, without detriment to common sense, left unsaid. But there is one evidence of change of ; views among many who have held out tbat the j old ordinance should not be amended in any particular. It is in a strengthening of the reeling in favor of amending the schedule of prices. An alderman who has supported the low-price schedule from the outset of the agitation months ago, said Saturday that a number of citizens had been to see him, and every one of tbem favored a change. "While I am inclined "he remarked "to vote that way I cannot vote for an ordinance that gives an exclusive privilege to any compan." It wae.aronnd this feat ure of the new ordinance tbat nearly all the op position expressed yesterday centered. Councilmen who favor an increase of tbe prices were outspoken against any exclusive privileges. Had tbat not been introduced in tbe new ordinance" said one of them "the schedule could have been changed Friday night." "What will be tbe action on the ordinance when it comes up to-morrow night?" was asked. "In the committee of the whole the exclusive featnre, I am sure, will be thrown out. Soma of tbe minor amendments asked for will be pushed through without any trouble, and when it comes to a change in the schedule of prices those proposed by the Indianapolis company will be carefully considered. It is probable that tbe company will not get all it asks la this respect, for an effort will be made to reduce the rates wherever it is thought they are too high; but, while there may be several changes, they will not be material. All of them will be a slight advance on the rates fof the old ordinance, while the ethers will remain as the Indianapolis company wants them." Yesterday afternoon a councilman was re turning from Sunday-school, when one of his constituents, a stockholder in a rival company, called across tbe street to him: "Remember, nowy you have got to stand by the old ordinance." i will see auous it, snouted oacK me coun cilman. "Yoa are on record, you know. No increase in rates." 'I know I am, but my Tote will be all right. I am opposed to exclusiveness, but as to price I'll see to morrow." "If he votes to amend the old ordinance" said the constituent to one who heard the conversa tion, "he will hear from me." Last night it was given out with some author ity that kthe Indianapolis company would con sent to striking out all features or sections of the ordinance that propose to give it an exelusive privilege. Further than this, it is under stood the company will make no concessions, al though it is thought it will consent to simply amending tbe old ordinance and to have the new one stricken from tbe files. The officers and stockholders of the Indianapalis company have been denounced by some who have allowed their temper to run away with their judgement. These indiscreet and, in some instances, irresponsible persons, have thus renectedupon some of tbe wealthiest and most enterprising men in the city men whose integrity is beyond re proachl The company's officers ar: President, George Branham; vice-president, Frederick Ostermeyer; secretary, G.

A misunderstanuing, for which the telephone is responsible, caused a mistake in the published statement of the action taken by the citizens of the Second ward. Saturday night, relative to the gas ordinance. Instead of indorsing tbe ordinance proposed by the Indianapolis Natural-gas Company, the meeting adopted a resolution "opposing any change whatever in the existing ordinance relating to natural gas, and requesting the councilman and aldermen representing the Second ward to vote and use their influence against any such change." Messrs. R. N.Lamb. Alfred Birdsal, A. A. McKain, Austin F. Denny and Dean Berry were appointed a committee to see Councilman Swain and urge his compliance with tbe meetings request. Tbe only person who opposed the resolution was Mr. George W. Spahr. "Your voice sounds as though you were talk ing through a worsted stocking," said a gentle' tleman to a hoarse acquaintance the other day. "I know it, but what can I dot" was the reply.
